This may not be the case for Elon Musk's An animal-rights group is accusing the firm of putting its test monkeys through illegal mistreatment and even"extreme suffering."The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine , an animal-rights group, filed a draft regulatory complaint with the U.S.
The PCRM further added that it had more than 700 pages of documents proving its allegations. These had been obtained through a public-records request to the university UC Davis that was cooperating with Neuralink. The PCRM accused both the institution and Neuralink of nine violations of the Animal Welfare Act. Perhaps the most shocking of its examples was that of a monkey having missing fingers and toes"possibly from self-mutilation or some other unspecified trauma."
Out of a total of 23 monkeys being experimented on by both organizations, only seven were still alive in 2020 when Neuralink ended its relationship with UC Davis. This is very shocking if you consider the fact that none of these monkeys were being subjected to any experiments that would result in death.Neuralink is working on a brain chip that when embedded in mammals can augment brain activity.
